This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
1/14/2025
As a student who has been at Ponderosa for the full four years I do believe it has been a good school.
8/31/2024
The school is welcoming and has great school spirit. The campus is clean, well cared for, and updated.
5/3/2024
The best parts of my experience are definitely the school events and the teachers. All of my teachers have been great and ASB does its best to give their students a good experience. The worst parts of my experience have probably been the lack of knowledgeable support for college.

I don't speak English and they have no treslation for Russian
11/2/2022
There is rampant racism at this school which is not discouraged by school leadership. If your child is not white, don't bother enrolling here! The absolute worst school I've ever experienced.The school's treatment of disabled students is horrible! Stay away!
5/20/2019
I have attended three different schools during my high school life, and Ponderosa High School by far has been the worst one. With the most inconsiderate principals and counselors, I find this school to be a very negative environment with a lack of compassion for the students that go there.
